In the winter of the fourth year, there was a boss who said that the county officials used space, and the wealthy businessman Dajia smelted and boiled salt, and his property may accumulate thousands of gold. It is not necessary to meet the needs of the country. Ask for more coins to be minted for daily use. and at the same time to suppress the prostitution and the merchant,

At that time, there were white deer in the forbidden garden, and there were more silver and tin in the Shaofu. It is made of white deer skin square ruler, and the edge is lined with colorful silk to make leather coins. Set value of 400,000. When the princely clan met him, he had to exchange leather coins for white bi before he could leave. He also made silver tin for three-grade white gold, the big one was round, and its text was a dragon. Worth three thousand. and the second is the square, whose text is a horse, and is worth five hundred. The smaller one is oval, and its text is a turtle, which is worth three hundred. Ordered the county officials to sell half a tael of coins, and even minted three baht coins. Whoever steals money deserves death, and the people who steal and mint platinum are innumerable.

So with Guo Xianyang in the east, Kong only became a big farmer. Salt and iron affairs. Sang Hongyang uses many schemes. Dongguo Xianyang is the big boiled salt of Qi State. Kong Xuan is the great smelter of Nanyang. They all spend a lot of money because of their craftsmen. Sang Hongyang, the son of a merchant in Luoyang, is a scheming worker. At the age of thirteen, he was in the middle of the service. The three of them talked about business and profit together, and the problems he analyzed were not bad.

It was decreed that if the people dared to boil salt in iron casting, their left toes would be cut off and their utensils confiscated. The secretary also asked the merchants to report the details of their belongings, and pay taxes of one hundred and twenty dollars for every two thousand yuan. and those who have more than five feet of carts shall pay taxes. If you hide and do not report, or if the reported amount is false, you will be locked in the border for a year, and your family's money will be in the office. If you are able to report the hiding, you will reward him with half of the confiscated property. Most of these laws were written by Zhang Tang. Whenever Zhang Tang held a court meeting, he talked about the country's use until the evening. So much so that the Son of Heaven forgot to eat, and the prime minister became an ornament who did not seek government in power. So everything in the world depends on Zhang Tang. The people were in turmoil, and they were uneasy. They all resented Zhang Tang.

At first, the Henan people Bu Shi, many times to the county officials to ask for money to help the side, the Son of Heaven sent a messenger to ask Bu Shi if he wanted to be an official, Bu Shi said: "The minister has been in the field and animal husbandry since he was a child, and he does not learn the way of eunuchs, so he is unwilling to be an official." ”

The messenger asked, "Is there a wrongful prison in the family who wants to take the opportunity to speak up?" ”

Bu Shi said: "There is no dispute with people in the life of the minister, there are poor people in the township, I lend to them, and there are people of bad character, I will enlighten him and put him on the right path." People around me are willing to listen to me, so why should I be resentful? I don't have anything to say,"

The messenger said, "Why do you do this, then?" ”

Bu Shi said: "The Son of Heaven punished the Huns, and the ministers foolishly thought that the sage should die at the border, and the rich should lose their wealth to help the border." Only when everyone works together can the Huns be destroyed. ”

The emperor regarded him as a virtuous person, and wanted to respect him as a metaphor for the people, so he recruited Bu Shi as the middle lang and entered the left of the lord. Ten acres of land are given. Announce to the world, so that everyone in the world knows about it, and soon after, he was promoted to the title of Qi Taifu.

In spring, there are stars in the northeast.

In the summer, there are long stars out of the northwest. The emperor and the generals discussed: "Zhao Xin, the marquis of Xi, often thought that the Han soldiers could not survive the desert and stay lightly, and now they should send a large number of soldiers and not stop until the goal is achieved." “

So the corn is 100,000. The general Wei Qing and the hussar general Huo Quai, each had 50,000 horsemen, 40,000 horses, and 100,000 infantry transporting baggage. And the warriors who dared to fight deep into the enemy's ranks were all subordinate to the hussar generals. began to hussars out of Dingxiang and Shan Yu to fight head-on, and the captured general said that Shan Yu was on the eastern front, so he ordered the hussars to go out of Daijun. Order the general to come out of the army. Lang Zhong ordered Li Guang to ask for the expedition many times, but the Son of Heaven thought that he was old and did not agree, so it took a long time to agree, making him a former general. The servant Sun He is the left general, and the lord Zhao Shiqi is the right general. Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang was the rear general. All are subordinate to the Great General.

Zhao Xinwei said for Shan Yu's plan: "Since the Han soldiers have passed through the desert, they must be exhausted, and the Huns can sit and reap the benefits." So he moved all his baggage north, and ambushed the elite soldiers north of the desert to wait for the Han army.

As soon as the general was out of the fortress, the captured general knew Shan Yu's residence, so he went with his own elite troops, and ordered the former general Li Guang and the right general to join forces and go out of the east road. The host road is far away, and there are few water and grass. Li Guang invited himself and said: "The ministers are former generals, but the current general has ordered the ministers to go out of the host. The minister has been fighting with the Huns since the end of the hair, and now he has only met with Shan Yu for the first time. “

The general also secretly accepted the emperor's entrustment, thinking that Li Guang was old and had been defeated by the Xiongnu many times, so he could not be left alone. I'm afraid I won't be able to get my wish. And Gongsun Hexin lost his marquis, and the general was also ready to let him make meritorious service with him, so as to make up for his merits. Therefore, Li Guang was incorporated into the Eastern Route Army. After Li Guang found out, he asked the general. The general did not allow it, and Li Guang set off without thanking him. His expression was very angry.

The general went out of the fortress for thousands of miles, crossed the desert, and saw Shan Yu lining up to meet the Han army. So the general made the steel cart ring into a battalion, and then attacked the Huns with 5,000 horsemen. The Huns also rode thousands of horses to meet the battle,
